Dev Update: CoreDev Zurich meetup

Just finished the coredev.tech meetup - basically a
in-perosn three-day Bitcoin Core IRC meeting. I hear there will be a more
detailed writeup soon on the Bitcoin Core website, but I’ll say for me

invited. That’s a lot of talent in one

on. I personally spent most of my time discussing things like txo
commitments, committed
transactions,
and deterministic
